“…Comparing the influence of changes in the technical parameters (Section 5.4.1) and the influence of changes in the cost parameters (Section 5.4.2) on the total project cost shows that the impact of changes in the cost parameters is considerably lower (8 to 12% versus 33% to 3007% for the technical parameters) than the technical parameters as also concluded in . Therefore, a reliable estimate of the path loss (possibly through actual measurements on the field) is thus a necessity to perform an accurate network dimensioning and cost calculation.…”

As the network of a power distribution company can be very large, maintaining such a network is not only very timeconsuming but also very costly, especially when failures occur. A huge amount of effort could be saved by monitoring the substations remotely which allows, amongst others, to trace failures more efficiently. In this study, such a monitoring network is designed based on WiMAX. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study differs from previous studies by combining both coverage and cost calculations. Firstly, the number of base stations needed to cover the considered area is determined. Therefore, link budget calculations are performed to obtain the ranges of the base stations. Secondly, the cost to install and maintain the network is determined using the results of the first step. A cost of approximately 6.5 EUR was found per km 2 that needs to be covered. This result is very sensitive to possible changes of the technical parameters, which can lead to cost fluctuations between 33.5% and 3007%. Changes in the cost parameters have, however, less impact on the total cost than the technical parameters. * Correspondence

Abstract-The provisioning of wireless data services in the railway environment will become increasingly important for train operators and train constructors in the upcoming years. A wellfounded choice of the technology to be used for the outdoor network connection is investigated in this paper. Several wireless technologies -including HSPA, E-UTRA and WiMAX -are compared by calculating their wireless ranges for reception outside and inside trains, based on the location of the transceiver. These wireless ranges determine the number of base stations needed to cover a pre-defined area along a railway track. Results show that generally 3G (UMTS-HSPA) and 4G (E-UTRA/LTE) technologies offer the best coverage over a range of data rates, from 2 Mbps to 8 Mbps. These data rates relate to a wide variety of services, from network control data, surveillance, crew services to passenger Internet traffic.
